The bad news is, it could also happen in a million years. But who's counting?

So basically they have no clue on when it will be seen or if it's going to explode but put the year 2012 on there for some conspiracy fun?

I swear, I need to trust my instincts. As soon as I saw the article on the news.com.au site desperately trying to link Betelgeuse going supernova with the nonsense about the Mayans and 2012, my gut reaction was to write about it.
But no, I figured a minute later, this story would blow over. So to speak.
I should’ve known: instead of going away, it gets picked up by that bastion of antiscience, The Huffington Post.
Grrrr.

Some of the comments are so retarded, they think they're being smart asses by saying if it explodes in 2012 we'll only see it 600 years later. Obviously what is meant that the light reaches us around 2012, it exploded ages ago if it did and will reach us in 2012 (which it won't, cos nothing cool like that ever happens)

From mid-June to mid-July, it's bright pretty much all the time over here, so I can vouch for that. Trying to sleep is more difficult.

That's why, if this happens (which it probably won't during our lifetimes, but if), I hope happens in the winter. For one, Betelgeuse is up in the Northern sky in the winter, goes below the horizon in the summer. Secondly, it's dark all the time, so it'd make for awesomesauce. Then again, it could just be a bright spot in the sky. Woop.

I don't think a lead spacesuit would do much good either. I don't know actual numbers but I think you'd need a shield thicker than, say, the distance between Earth and the Sun to stop them all.*
